Little lords and ladies

The day had finally arrived. After several weeks of watching their little family grow from wolf nuggets squealing and nursing at Briar's belly to slightly less little pups with their own characters and personality, the time to set the five new members of the Carpathius family loose on the world was here. Artorias had sent word throughout the Hallows letting the pack know his children were being set free from the alphas' chambers today so everyone could keep an eye out on them and say hello to the new little lords and ladies of the castle. The new father was equal parts excited and overjoyed as he was nervous and worried. He just reassured himself that his children would be fine, and that they were bouncy and durable, as he had seen them take a number of tumbles about the bedchambers without breaking. They were ready to be let out, and as much as the overprotective father wanted to keep them safe forever and always, he reminded himself that everything would be fine.

"All right, little ones, it's time!" Artorias called to his horde of rambunctious puppies as he stood beside the large double mahogany doors that had kept them penned in since their birth. A large azure paw rested on the handle, ready to unlatch the doors and set them loose on the castle. A bright, fatherly smile painted his face while loving amber eyes swept over each of his five children in turn. "Now, remember the ground rules. No running or fighting on the stairs. Remember your manners when meeting pack members. No going higher than the third floor. And stay within the castle walls for today. There's a lot to see and do here, and once you get used to it, then we or the rest of the family can start exploring the pack lands with you." Artorias waited until he had heard a verbal agreement from all five of his children, giving Dusk a direct look in particular as if to say 'I’m watching you today, missy!'.

Once he'd gotten what he wanted, the Aegis waited for his Queen to join him at the doors, and then, with a beaming smile, he pulled them open to let the puppies run out into the halls for the first time, unleashing the newest Carpathians onto the unsuspecting world. "Okay, let's go explore your home! We've got family waiting to see you downstairs!"

OoC: assume everything happening here is day one so the pups only need to stay inside the castle walls for this thread during their first time exploration
